Lost

“The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.”- Rumi

“Wherever you go, east, west, north or south, think of it as a journey into yourself! The one who travels into itself travels the world.”- Shams Tabrizi

Though Days

“Whatever happens to you, don’t fall into despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can’t see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path…Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, and thank before having what you want”- Rumi

Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down, don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside? — Shams Tabrizi

“If you have become ash, Then wait you become a rose again. And do not remember how often you have become ash. But how often you were reborn in ashes to a new rose?”- Rumi

Anxiety

“All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony then you will gain peace.” — Rumi

People

“The universe is a completely unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyone’s heart; do not look down on those weaker than you. One’s sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; one’s happiness can make the entire world smile.” — Shams Tabrizi

Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?” -Rumi

“Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.”- Rumi

“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form.” — Rumi

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. — Rumi —

my favorite one :)
